Paul and I went to Cape Cod over a long weekend in January. Flew out on Friday and took a drive in Falmouth around the beach and stopped at Nobska Lighthouse. Love seeing the water meet the land. Did a little late Christmas shopping - bought Mom a suitcase for all her travels this year. Also helped her buy a new laptop computer. Went to see the movie "Brooklyn" which we both enjoyed and had a nice dinner at the Villaggio at the Regatta Restaurant in Cotuit, Saturday night. Sunday was church and lunch afterwards. A couple visits with Aunt Carolyn and the weekend was soon over. Nice break and a good way to start 2016.
A Great Fall Day!
Old Main behind the leaves Tredway Library Enjoyed a great day wandering around Augie's campus and a few other Rock Island places. The weather was cool, the sun was bright and there was a fall feeling in the air. We walked down by the slough path - there was a lull in the regatta slough races so we wandered up the other side of the slough. Walked to the top of the path and discovered new residence halls - Parkander North and Parkander South. Walked back down the path, wandered into Old Main and Denkmann Library - both buildings we spent lots of time in while we were students at Augie. Had lunch at Brew by the Slough - the coffee bar located in the library building. Continued our walk on the other side of slough - from down campus to up campus - wandered past Westerlin Hall and walked by Ryden House which was Ruthven House when I lived there my senior year of college. Drove around Rock Island a little bit afterwards - by Sunset ...
